Why does stress build up at transform boundaries?

Physics
1 answer:
Rina8888 [55]3 years ago
3 0
Tectonic plate edges are not smooth. At transform boundaries, plates move against each other, but since the plates aren't smooth, lockups form. Stress is built up as both sides continue to steadily push against each other until there is sudden movement, where both plates quickly slide until they lock up again. This is what causes earthquakes.

Which color of light is diffracted at a greater angle from a diffraction grating, red or yellow light?
topjm [15]
The amount of diffraction depends on the wavelength of light, with shorter wavelengths being diffracted at a greater angle than longer ones (in effect, blue and violet<span> light are diffracted at a larger angle than is red light).

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

Answer:

the correct one is D,  

Ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma ray

Explanation:

Electromagnetism radiation are waves of energy that is expressed by the Planck relationship

          E = h f

where h is the plank constant and f the frequency of the radiation.

Also the speed of light is

          c = λ f

         

we substitute

          E = h c /λ

therefore to damage the cells of the body radiation of appreciable energy is needed

microwave radiation has an energy of 10⁻⁵ eV

infrared radiation                E = 10⁻² eV

visible radiation                   E = 1 to 3 eV

radiation Uv                         E = 3 to 6 eV

X-ray                                    E = 10 eV

 

gamma rays                         E = 10 5 eV

therefore we see that the high energy radiation is gamma rays, x-rays and ultraviolet light.

When checking the answers, the correct one is D

Average velocity is different than average speed because calculating average velocity involves ?
Studentka2010 [4]
Direction!

Velocity is a vector quantity and speed is a scalar quantity. Vector quantities includes both magnitude and direction, while scalar quantities only have magnitude. :)
